Ohio State football test scores released

SIAP saw this on reddit but not on this board...

Names are redacted. OSU released reading and math related test results of football players...

It breaks down like this:

4 players with low academic performance
16 with below average academic performance
76 with average performance
20 with above average performance
4 with upper extreme performance

Overall, better than I would expect and probably better than some other schools in the country. Nonetheless, interesting.

Yeah but look at what they consider "average." For example, one kid tested at 8th-grade math and that was deemed "average" for a college student.

Some scores are scarily low.

They changed to a different, and less informative IMO, reading test for 2012. But, for the 2009-2011 years:

Reading Grade Level Equivalent averages
'09: 12.2125
'10: 12.44
'11: 11.49 (officially)
3 scores were thrown out, document refers to them as "invalid due to incompletion"
with these scores factored back in:
'11*: 10.235

Scores for math and spelling are harder to quantify b/c they use "early hs", "late hs", and "post-hs". But I thought the numbers were interesting regardless. No one failed to complete the reading test in 2009 and 2010, then Urban comes in and all of a sudden 3 of the lowest scores fail to complete it, which takes us from a decline of 2.2 grade levels on average to about one grade level. I'm sure those low scores were someone influenced by the incomplete nature of the test, and there was at least one incomplete math/spelling test every year, I think. But still, food for thought.

4+16+76+20+4=85 OSU math?
